CX will work with the 4G LTE network of all mobile operators in Nigeria. However, to use the 4G LTE network of any mobile operator in the country, the user needs to have a SIM card that supports this network technology.

The Bluetooth technology helps facilitate connectivity of the device with peripherals like speakers, external keyboard, and their likes.

This battery charges fully under two and a half hours, with the help of a rapid-charge system equipped in the smartphone. The battery belongs to the popular Li-Po family.

Chipset and RAM

The system of components featured in Tecno Camon C10 is managed by a MediaTek chipset which is tagged MediaTek MT6750T. MediaTek MT6750T chipset is a cool octa-core chipset which is not popular among smartphones but excellent. However, some users might find the chipset slow considering the fact that it has a processing speed of 1.5 GHz.

MediaTek MT6750T as stated is an octa-core chipset, made up of eight processors. These processors exist in two sets, a set of powerful ones and another set of less powerful ones. Only a set works at a time, but which set works depends on the task at hand. Whenever a set works, the task is shared among the processors in the set.

MediaTek MT6750T has the support of Mali-T860 MP2 as its graphics processor. Mali-T860 MP2 GPU helps the chipset with its graphics related processing, allowing the processors of the chipset to focus more on the non-graphics aspects of tasks at hand.

Builds of Tecno Camon C10 come with either 2 GB random access memory or 3 GB random access memory. The 2 GB RAM variant is for average smartphone users; 2 GB RAM is enough for the chipset to carry out the tasks of an average user, without issues. The 3 GB RAM variant of the phone is for RAM hungry users. An additional 1 GB RAM should be able to cover the needs of these RAM-hungry users.

Cameras and Sensors

Excellent cameras are the selling point of Tecno’s Camon devices, and Camon CX comes with 5-star cameras. The selfie camera featured in the front of the phone is a 16 MP camera which has loads of enhancements. These enhancements all work together to help improve the quality of pictures produced by this device. The selfie camera also has the support of a bright LED flash.

On the rear side of Tecno Camon C10 is an epic 16 MP camera. This camera has loads of enhancements, some of which are: autofocus with more focus capability, geotagging, face detection, HDR, phase detection, and panorama camera. Just like the selfie camera, this rear camera has the support of bright LED flash.

Tecno Camon C10 comes with a handful of sensors like: g-sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, and compass. The light sensor makes the smartphone have capabilities that are dependent on the intensity of light. Proximity sensor, on the other hand, gives this device the capability to carry out tasks that require knowing the closeness of the phone screen to a surface.

As expected, Camon C10 has a fingerprint scanner positioned on the rear side of the smart device. The fingerprint which is a new and easy way of implementing a security system is nicely positioned on the back of the device. When a fingerprint scanner is in use, it is always recommended to also activate another authentication system. This is recommended to avoid losing access to one’s device in the event the scanner stops working all of a sudden.

Storage and OS

Tecno Camon CX has a flash storage embedded in it, and this storage space has a capacity of 16 GB. For an average smartphone user, more storage space may not be required. However, if there is a need or desire for more storage space, storage space expansion is possible with the help of a micro SD card. However, note that micro SD cards larger than 128 GB cannot be inserted into the device, as the device does not support anything larger than that.

Note that when a new build of Camon C10 is bought, the total free space will be less than 16 GB. The reason for this is that the operating system, system apps, pre-installed apps, and important files all take up some of this storage space.

Tecno Camon C10 runs the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system as its primary software. However, it does not run the standard version of the OS, it rather runs the modified version of the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.
